  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, and 2 minced garlic cloves; then add remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, stirring until combined.
  4. Step 4: Place 1.5 lbs skinless and boneless chicken thighs in the sauce bowl, turning each piece to coat completely.
